Swiss Dolce Vita at Villa Orselina in Locarno

by Larisa

It’s so good to be back here on the blog and writing again! It’s been crazy busy since this year began – with a lot of work but also a lot of adventures – so there is a lot to share! I want to tell you guys about our trip to the Italian-Swiss region of Ticino in May when we stayed at the incredible Villa Orselina hotel.

Life in Zürich

Zurich Kronenhalle restaurant original Chagall painting

Where to eat in Zurich: the legendary Kronenhalle restaurant

by Larisa

There are many great restaurants in Zurich, but Kronenhalle is one of a kind. Located in the heart of the city – at Bellevue – from its windows, you can see the busy streets of today’s Zurich, but inside is a world that has been preserved since 1924. Its legendary and historic status as a local institution is largely due to the fact that its owners loved food as much as they loved art.

A winter weekend in Zermatt

by Larisa

Weekend getaway dream: to wake up in the mountains, put on your fluffy robe and slippers, and have your morning cup of tea from the balcony, with a view of a snow-covered village and day full of fun activities ahead. Here is how we spent the weekend at CERVO Zermatt.

Golden fall afternoon at Oeschinensee

by Larisa

Oeschinensee (Lake Oeschinen in English). The name of this lake is a little hard to remember and pronounce but it’s so beautiful and worth it that I’ve been here twice already in one year.
